3 WAYS TO WEAR LEGGINGS

Leggings. They're all I want to wear in the fall and in the winter, but can be tricky to style. Wearing leggings with a top that doesn't cover your booty is absolutely not allowed. A sweatshirt and a pair of leggings do not make an outfit.

When you're buying leggings, I highly suggest Loft. You don't want a pair that looks and feels like tights, and Loft has the nice thick ones that almost feel like actual pants (but cozy enough to be pjs).

1. Dress them up with a long tunic and heels. (Target has amazing, fancyish long tunics like this one). You can find one here.

2. Make it cozy with ankle boots and a long sweater.

3. Create an every day outfit with riding boots and a long shirt. This is actually a dress...Old Navy has a ton of dresses that are a few inches above the knee, and that are perfect for the fall/winter to wear with leggings. Go here to see all their dresses.

I'm pretty sure I've worn the 3rd outfit at least 3 times in the past couple of weeks.

Ashley, I am so glad you posted this! I am in the market for some new leggings. My Target ones are about to kick the bucket and I've only had them for a year. Thanks for reminding me about those LOFT leggings! I had forgotten I pinned them the last time you mentioned them.

Super cute! When the weather gets cold, I refuse to be separated from my leggings... I love my Lululemons - cliche, but they're so sturdy & last for yearsssss. And just last week I bought my first couple of pairs of fleece-lined leggings in preparation for London and they are heaven on earth!!!! Seriously feels like sticking my legs in a toasty, snuggly blanket!

I love this! I hate the generalization "leggings are not pants," because clearly there are tons of stylish ways to wear them appropriately! And that orange shirt is DARLING on you!xx, Emilyshell chic'd

Leggings are so cozy and comfortable! I like wearing them with dresses too, because when I am at work working with students and sitting on the floor, I know I'm completely covered! The bright top paired with leggings is so fun!

I LOVE that orange top (but all three outfits are adorable)! And you're absolutely right... the leggings HAVE to cover your butt. Major rule that needs to somehow be enforced for the good of the public =)

I love leggings because I love comfort. I just need appropriate shirts to wear with them. I already wear them with dresses all the time. All the looks are great, but my personal favorite is the 2nd one. Comfy, comfy, comfy!

Finally some suggestions on what we all really want to wear - LEGGINGS! this is an awesome post, totally practical for everyone. And I had no idea that Loft leggings are the best, I usually buy mine from H&M but they are a little too thin for my liking. I will definitely be checking out loft next time!

I haven't really cared much for the high-low shirts, but you might have changed my mind in that amazing color! I love my leggings although I have to admit I've worn them (in public) with my booty uncovered haha.

Totally agree! I love leggings. Going to check out the Loft ones now! I hate it when teachers at my school wear leggings with shirts that don't cover them properly. In my opinion, leggings are not pants! I love the 3 looks you came up with. I really like your booties in your first picture, too.

I always feel like I can't pull off that leggings and high heels look. It looks so good on you, but I don't feel like it looks right on me. Also, thanks for the tip on Loft leggings! I will look into those!
